OP, you're just a troll aren't you?

Why? Do get a sticky warm feeling from starting these ridiculous threads?

Was going uphill behind a very slow moped learner driver who was dithering lights were definitely green when I went through.

However didn't make it through to the end which was uphill couldn't see the other end of the traffic lights to know if somebody was waiting. Got beeped and gesticulated at in the usual "what the hell are you doing" type way.

Definitely not my fault in my opinion.
Why didn't you make it through? If you can't make it up a hill, then what the hell were you doing?

In all seriousness, if you were stuck behind a moped, it would it be obvious to the other driver what had happened, so why do you think they were gesticulating to you?

Actually a similar thing happened to me once, when I went through some temporary lights at roadworks, and fella with a dumper truck reversed out into the road so I had to stop. By the time he'd gone and I carried on, the lights at the other end had changed and I got a lot of as I saw it undeserved abuse from oncoming drivers.

I came to terms with it being one of those things and I got over it, eventually, with the help of family and friends. Hopefully you will too.

OP. Don’t for heaven’s sake try this toll bridge. I can just imagine you having to reverse from the middle.
